Diary of Rachael Woods.

Dear Diary,

      I’m convinced Elodie has been following us. We met her on our trail in the park. I wonder why she was suddenly following us. Is she beginning to suspect that I’m studying her? No. That’s not possible. I’m always too careful and my plan is flawless.

     I deliberately dropped Alec’s wallet in her car and my plan did work this time. Now I know Elodie is in an abusive marriage. I found the card of a therapist in the glove compartment. I called the therapist and pretended I wanted to start therapy to find out her specialty.

     Someone also called her twenty times. Who would be that desperate? The husband she’s running away from? I saw his face on the phone screen.

     Finally, I’ve figured out how I’m going to kill Alec without raising suspicions. Elodie is going to help me kill Alec without her realizing it.

     My plan to get back at Alec is perfect. I’m going to make Elodie believe I’m in an abusive marriage like her. When she saw the bruises on my neck I got when Bernard choked me, her eyes widened. I purposefully leaned forward so she’d see it. Now Elodie believes Alec is hitting me. All I have to do is to make sure she continues believing that, and when the appropriate time arrives, she’ll come to my rescue.

11: 00 P.M.

Deary Diary,

I’m so excited tonight. Elodie thinks I’m in an abusive marriage. She asked me how I caught the bruises. Of course, I didn’t tell her my crazy lover tried to strangle me some days ago before we came to the farmhouse. She asked me about my job. I told her about my curation for a museum in New Hampshire. That much is very true.

     The only lie was that I never quit. I told my supervisor a relative of mine had died and I’d be gone for a couple of months. Then after I had killed Alec, I’d return to my normal life and my job as a curator. He’s the reason I have to live this lie. I’m tired of being Amy Bergers. I want to go back to who I was, but patience is always bitter. When I feel like bailing out, I remind myself why I married Alec—why I’m doing this. For Marie. I can’t quit. I will make sure I execute my perfect plan.
